Abstract


Supernumerary teeth are characterized by presence of extra number of teeth in relation to the normal dentition. Its presence invariably has it effect of the erupting teeth in mixed dentition. Early diagnosis and treatment can reduce its effect as compared to established dentition. Although a plethora of treatment strategies are available in literature for treatment of supernumerary teeth orthodontically. Using simple and effective treatment options does not complicate the process particularly in tiny oral cavities. This case report discuses the management of supernumerary teeth in maxillary arch in a mixed dentition scenario.
